– 1 – TECHNICAL DESIGN FEATURES
◆ Titanium Dome The titanium dome used in the Power tweeter allows the voice coil assembly to efficiently dissipate heat. This feature allows the tweeter to be driven at higher operating levels without sacrificing sound quality.
THE RESULT: High power handling with excellent response.
◆ Neodymium Magnets
The high ionic compound of neodymium enables a smaller tweeter magnet assembly to be used as opposed to the much larger ferrite magnets that are commonly used in speaker manufacturing.
THE RESULT: An efficient magnet which allows smaller tweeter construction.
◆ Magnetic Fluid Cooling
Magnetic fluid is a synthetic liquid consisting of microscopic mag- netic particles. The fluid has four times the thermal conductivity as air which makes it an ideal cooling agent. Magnetic fluid is injected into the voice coil gap which helps dissipate heat generated by the voice coil.
THE RESULT: A thermal conductor which allows increased power handling.
◆ Swivel Mount Design
The tweeter is encapsulated in a variable swivel housing. This design allows direct dispersion of the tweeter in order to accommodate various mounting positions. The swivel mount design allows the tweeter to maximize its sonic potential.
THE RESULT: Precise tweeter imaging regardless of mounting position.
– 2 – Midrange Features
◆ TPR Rubber Surround
TPR (Thermal Plastic Rubber) is resilient to temperature variations and provides a consistent support necessary for the linear motion of the speaker cone. In addition, the inherent damping capabilities elimi- nates the transmission of sonic disturbances between the cone and the frame of the speaker. This greatly improves the clarity of the speaker's midrange frequency response.
THE RESULT: Improves speaker's frequency response. ◆ Flat Spider
The speaker's linear compliance is balanced through the use of a “proprietary” flat spider design. A flat spider provides symmetrical control of the voice coil through its cone excursion. Linear cone excursion reduces harmonic distortion for improved sound quality.
THE RESULT: Reduces mechanical distortion for better sound quality . ◆ High Temperature Voice Coil
The voice coil is of a high temperature copper wire construction. The wire is wound in two layers on a black, anodized, aluminum voice coil former. The voice coil former dissipates heat away from the voice coil improving the speaker's thermal stability and improving the reliability of the speaker.
THE RESULT: Improves reliability by dissipating generated heat.
◆ Vented Pole Piece
The vented pole piece by design, ensures proper ventilation to cool the voice coil and maintain lower operating temperatures. The vent on the rear of the magnet reduces back pressure and allows cool air to circulate in the voice coil gap. The air circulation increases the thermal power handling of the speaker.
THE RESULT: Improves power handling by cooling the voice coil.
– 3 – ◆ Silver Powder Coat Finish
Powder coating has long been the industry standard for durability in protective metal finishes. A dry powder (non-aerosol) is electrostati- cally applied to the metal and “baked” on to provide a hard “shell- like” finish. As an additional benefit, powder coating is the only finishing process that releases no toxic chemicals into our ozone.
THE RESULT: A durable and “earth friendly” metal finish.
Crossover Features
◆ Optical Compression Circuit
The supplied passive crossovers utilize an optical compression circuit for tweeter protection. This protection circuit absorbs the destructive signal caused when the amplifier's output is clipped. This greatly increases the power handling capability and the reliability of the tweeter.
THE RESULT: Increased tweeter reliability under harsh conditions. . ◆ Series Notch Filter
The Series Notch Filter compensates for the inductive load presented by the driver (speaker). The filter's primary function is to dampen and eliminate the effect that driver resonance has on the crossover. The Series Notch Filter flattens out the inductive load which greatly improves driver performance by providing a “stable” crossover point.
THE RESULT: Improves driver performance by reducing resonant peak.
– 4 – ◆ Zobel Network
The Zobel network compensate for the impedance rise presented by the driver (speaker). The network flattens out the gradual impedance rise produced by the voice coil which typically results in high frequency rolloff. The Zobel Network compensates for this natural rolloff which allows the driver to produce a more linear response up to the tweeter crossover point.
THE RESULT: Compensates for natural high frequency rolloff of midrange.
◆ Adjustable Tweeter Level Matching
The crossover utilizes a series power resistor for tweeter level match- ing. The factory set tweeter output level is –0dB, however, can be reduced –3dB to create a smoother transition between the midrange and tweeter. The ability to level match allows the system to be custom “tuned” for a particular listener or setup.
THE RESULT: Allows custom setup of tweeter output level.

– 6 – INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Tools Needed The following is a list of some of the tools necessary for the installation of your speakers.
Power Drill with assorted bits #2 Phillips Screwdriver Tape Measure Hole Saw (2") Voltmeter
General 1. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation. 2. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle provides the best protection. 3. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber of plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal. 4. Mount the speakers/crossovers away from electrical sources (other than the amplifier) i.e., power cables, electronic fuel pumps, vehicle computers, and other potential noise sources. 5. Mount the speakers/crossovers away from areas of extreme heat or moisture.
Speakers 1. Make sure there is an area large enough of the speaker to mount. Warning! Failure to do this can cause damage to the speaker if the speaker frame is bent during installation. 2. Check to see that the location is deep enough for the speaker(s) and the location does not interfere with the normal operation of the vehicle. 3. When mounting the speaker(s) in the door of a vehicle, make sure the speaker(s) do not interfere with either the door or window operation. 4. When mounting the speaker(s) on the rear deck of the vehicle, check the operation of the rear hatch or trunk lid. Make sure the torsion bars and other moving parts are not obstructed by the speaker(s) instal- lation. • Please refer to the Specifications section of this manual for proper mounting diameter and depth of the speaker(s).
Crossovers 1. Make sure there is a flat area large enough for the crossover to mount. 2. For best results, mount the crossover(s) next to the amplifier for a decorative finish to the installation and provide an easy upgrade (no new wires to run) for a bi-amp Rockford Fosgate system in the future. – 7 – MOUNTING LOCATION
A solid front stage with a good image is one of the most difficult tasks to achieve in a vehicle. No car has the optimum listening environment. This makes proper sound staging very difficult to accomplish. Most speakers tend to be placed where they will fit easily, as opposed to where they can perform the best. The mounting location of your speakers will have a great effect on the sound quality of your stereo system. The special care taken to place the speakers will yield many hours of listening enjoyment in return. Several important recommenda- tions should be followed.
• Place the speakers where they have a direct path to the listening area. • For the best integration between the midrange and tweeter, the tweeter 2" or less should be placed less than 2" from the midrange. (Figure 1) • If you cannot place the tweeter less than 2" from the midrange, then place the tweeter more than 7" from the midrange. Placing the tweeter 2"-7" from the Figure 1 midrange can cause destructive inter- ference (frequency response problems) which will affect the speaker's ability to reproduce the frequency range around the crossover frequency of the system. • Whenever possible, place the tweeter directly above or below the midrange as this maximizes the imaging (point source) capability of the speakers. (Figure 2)
Figure 2-A Figure 2-B
– 8 – • Sound radiated from a “point source” has the most optimum stereo imaging because the separation of the acoustical centers between the midrange and tweeter for each channel is at the optimum. Figure 2-A describes a horizontal speaker alignment. In a closed environ- ment such as an automobile, horizontal speaker alignment can cause severe amplitude and phase differences which will degrade not only the imaging, but also the frequency response. This is due to the path length differences between the midrange and tweeter. Figure 2-B displays a vertical alignment between the midrange and tweeter. With a vertical alignment, the path length difference between the midrange and tweeter are reduced to a minimum. The result is a negligible difference in path lengths between the midrange and tweeter regardless of the proximity of the listener to the speakers. Mounting the speaker with minimum path length differ- ence will ensure the best staging and imaging possible from your audio system.
